    Define the random variable. X = ________________.Is X continuous or discrete?X ~ ________μ = ________σ = ________Draw a graph of the probability distribution. Label the axes.Find the probability that a phone call lasts less than nine minutes.Find the probability that a phone call lasts more than nine minutes.Find the probability that a phone call lasts between seven and nine minutes.If 25 phone calls are made one after another, on average, what would you expect the total to be?
